Trae playing pg at the end and playing off his guys. Love it!!!!

Great win for the Hawks. I still wanna see Johnson and Coop get their jerseys dirty, but great win nonetheless.

Hell yeah!  We don’t have the MLK jerseys, but MLK is still our good luck charm.

Find a way to give OO 20-25 minutes w or w/o Capela. He needs to be developed.

Hunter with the 9 rebounds. 

They've been playing much harder the past three games. 

Nate switched things up and rode the players who were playing well. 

KEEP That up!

OO is Giannis' personal menace. 

The Hawks started 0-12 from 3, but finished 15-24.

They're mad we won.  Hurts draft positioning for their tankathon sims. 

Not seeing them talk right now.

[Sothron]

What a win! Maybe we will go see the Twolves game live after all...

[Peoriabird]

No more Ben Simmons trade talk after this win.  The Hawks have the pieces. They just have to play the right way in the 4th and tonight they did. Okongwu is a stud!!!

I'd still trade for Ben in a heartbeat.

FWIW Gallo does not want to be traded. He really likes this city and the team. He is playing very hard the last few games to try and stay. I don't think it will keep him here though. He's by far the most likely trade candidate.

If Nate doesn't that would be a failure.

Good ball movement again.

They CAN'T trade Okongwu. I've seen enough.

Heck no...lol..

[Diesel]

Ok... OK... OK..

Every Freaking Game, I hear nothing but Contempt and Criticism for Nate about how he coached and how his rotations sucked.

Tonight, yall got to give him his flowers for this win.   He could have screwed this up several ways.. but he didn't.   Stop trying to make a narrative that JC asked to stay out. 

Give Nate his credit.

That's unfortunate for him. His contract situation makes it a foregone conclusion though.

Is he *gasp* coaching tonite?

 

He showed he had their backs and they responded.

We have found the secret to winning!  You can go to the store during every game!

I'm on the Keep Gallo Train.  He plays hard.

We got to do something about Bogi though.

The only thing I will concede is that the team desperately needs a starting 2 guard. Lord is Huerter slow! Can't the Hawks at least find a defensive 2 without offense?

Especially since Ah’Capella will be moved on draft night
